He finally called her back. Seems he fell asleep and says he will see her tomorrow night, he is doing orientation tomorrow and leaving tuesday. She says he was unhappy because DS would not see him. anyhow he has to come to town tomrrow to get some stuff and is coming to see her. I will be nowhere around....

she was very upset and told him so. I said good for you....

I do hope he thinks of his family and how he has hurt them all. He deserves to be hurting and thinking.

When will the dreams stop? I have not had a good nights sleep in days. I just dream of all this crap all night. Some good dreams some bad.

I just wish my my brain would stop thinking when I go to bed.

I just wish WH would wake up one day and have a revolation of what he has done and say " I want to come home, I made a bad mistake and want to fix it."
As my mom says wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one fills up first...

This is so hard .......

It's not that simple and NOT easy when that does happen.

When's your IC session begin?

Hurting:

You are having symptoms of depression and PTSD..

I'm praying for a job for you, to get health insurance, to get some ADs...

Counseling will help as well..

It's safe to take Benadryl at night to help you sleep better...it's the same as the over the counter sleep aids...and is not habit-forming...


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

I will try that mimi. I think your right about the depression for sure. I just can't let this go no matter how hard I try. I just feel so helpless and hopeless.

I just want this over. I feel like this will never end. One day I feel like he will come home someday and other days I feel like its over for good. I keep looking for signs he is feeling the pain of this and I see nothing. I think when he took all of his clothes last weekend and left nothing here it made me feel like it was done. I don't know if its done or not but it sure felt like it wen I came home and all was gone. At least with his clothes here I felt some hope now its gone..... I truly thought he would never come get them, I was devestated when he did. He actually did get the storage unit.... So now I don't know what to think.....

Staying busy is the answer..

Get out of the house...

Go job hunting...

I really got into flowers and houseplants. Reminded me that "life goes on..."

Any new enjoyable activity that you always wanted to do?

Any craft stores in your area like Michaels?

That's the problemo...you can't think...remember you can't make sense of insanity...(my new motto honey!!)...

As hard as it is and trust me you know how hard it is for me...you just gotta Let Go and Let God. Sally turned me onto a cool website yesterday....www.coping.org lots of wonderful reading there when you have time. I have PostIts up all over my desk area.

I think the AD will be an excellent idea for you...and I will keep saying a prayer that you will find a job. That will be a huge distraction for you.

I know it's hard honey...all of us have been through it or are going through it. You have a huge group of people here that care about you.

Big hugs my friend!!


If you love something, set it free. If it comes back its yours. If it doesn't, it never was. You can't make sense of insanity...definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Lisa

Well I am happy to say WH came through and got the kids this evening for a little while. He pulled up to the house and blew the horn he did not even get out. I was surprised needless to say.

He dropped them off about and hour later. DS got the mail from the mailbox and WH procedded to open some of the bills. He told DD he would give me money on friday. Now I know the bills have his name also but I thought that was not right of him to open the mail and look. Maybe I am being to sensitive about this but who does he think he is? He left here without caring about the bills, so why look at em......

I think I may have a job!!!!!! The owner called tonight and wants to see me in the morning.

He interviewed me on thursday when I put the app in. So I am praying I got the job. Its not the best job in the world but it is something....

And I decided if I have this job, after I get my bills caught up I am going to get the money together and file for CS and Spousal support from WH.... I am tired of getting what ever he wants to give me......

Let reality start sinking in ....... hit him where it hurts the most....... $$$$$$$$$$

Hurting - That is such good news!!!!!!! Now go to bed and get some sleep. And take that job if it is offered. You can always stay for awhile and get another one. I have just had this positive feeling that something good is going to happen for you.

ty believer I am hoping this is the break I need. I am going to take the job is offered thats for sure.

Now if the rest of my life would turn for the best I will be doing great. I'm getting to the point now I feel not much hope anymore for my marriage. I hope I am wrong....

Anyhow the job is going to be a godsend for me. I will let everyone know as soon as I do......

well WH has left on the road. Why do I feel like crap about it? I have not spoken to him since the 8th of this month. I did peek out the window last night when he dropped the kids off. I know I was not suppose to but I just wanted to see him.

He is suppose to be gone for 3or 4 weeks before he comes in. The kids are pretty sad he will be gone for so long. Its not like he really did much with them but at least he was close if they needed him.

I can't believe i have actually pulled this planb off as well as I have for the last 19 days or so. It has been so hard. I sure hope its been hard on WH as well, but who knows.

Anyhow I should know about the job in a day or so. I am hoping it works out for me. I do need the distraction of it to keep myself moving along.

Hope things are going well for you tonight. I think you are going to start feeling better soon. Now WH is away from OW. You know, I really didn't think he would go. Might be part of his plan to figure himself out. We will see.

Yeah he really went. I am doing ok with it. It does make me happy he is not with her for now.

He does say he is confused and not sure what he wants and that he needs this time to think and figure it out.

He told DD to tell me he loves me and misses me. I just don't know what to believe anymore.

I feel he has done the right thing for himself. I just hope and pray he makes the right decsion.

It is unusual for the WS to leave the OW like that. Usually they want to grovel in the mud rutting like pigs, as Melody says.

Now is the time for YOU to do the things you need to do to make a nice life. I'm sure you will get a job soon. Also organize and clean. Spend time with your kids doing fun family things. And don't tell me you can't without your husband.

The bowling alley ought to be okay to go to again. So get busy and start enjoying.
